As the regular season heads into its final week, the results of this blend have been rather successful in terms of the win-loss column, as the Bears have compiled an overall record of 19-6-2.]]>Thu, 02 Jul 2015 14:34:31 -0400201507021434312015-07-02T14:34:31-04:002015-07-02T14:34:31-04:00Misty May-Treanor kicked off the 2015 Pottstown Rumble on Thursday, June 25, hosting two sessions of her "Dream in Gold Clinic" at Pottstown's Memorial Park.

According to a statement by Sixers general manager Sam Hinkie, Embiid's right foot, part of his run of injury luck that moved the team to sit him out his entire rookie season, was found to have "less healing than anticipated" in a recent medical examination in Los Angeles.

That's a nice respite for the regulars as the dog days of summer start to crank up.

It will be the fourth time that the Bears have held this event, as it was also held in 2006, 2010, and 2014.

The event will be on a much smaller scale than past events due to the extended but necessary construction taking place near the Stadium.
